In more ways then one

Chapter 1: late

I woke up and expected to hear my alarm annoyingly blaring but instead I heard complete...silence. As I rolled out of bed looked around for my phone and found it on the ground, I picked it up and I checked the time it was 7:30. 7:30?!?!?

       I was later than I've ever been in my whole life. Obviously I'm being dramatic but still! School started at 7:50 which meant I slept in 30 minutes more than I should have, I was gonna be SO late! I hurried to my dresser and picked out a white hoodie and some grey cargo pants I threw them on. I went to the bathroom brushed my teeth washed my face and threw my hair into a messy ponytail.   

     I ran out the door not even attempting to eat breakfast, I knew I was gonna regret that later but my decision stands, one more second in that house and I was gonna be more then a little late for sure. Now, you might think I'm being dramatic but I was gonna miss most of 1st period!

     And my principal is on the lookout for any late students just waiting to give them detention after not being able to punish anyone all weekend. Mr. Guriri is always on a power trip on Monday's. Anyways I  get into the car and put on the radio as I'm breaking multiple traffic laws to get to school on time and just then my bad decisions from this morning start to catch up with me and I realize how hungry I really am.

     I finally get to school and there's Mr.Guriri standing in the door just waiting for the first sorry soul to walk through that door. And of course  that soul unfortunately had to be me. I get out of my car grab my bag and start heading to my demise. Mr. Guriri was standing there all smug watching as I walked in.

      "Well look who decided to finally join us Ms. Lears." Mr. Guriri said in his know it all tone. " I'm so sorry I'm late Mr. Guriri, I was having some car troubles this morning" Riley says. " You're an excellent student to have so I'll let you slide... this time" "really sir?" "Nope, Saturday detention for you "

        Riley mopped slowly to class knowing her other teachers would have something to say about her fashionably late appearance as well. Riley wasn't a teachers pet but she wasn't exactly a bad kid either. She was one of the middle kids who teachers didn't really have to worry about.

        I sat toward the back of the class room sitting next to a boy with curly brown hair. He was very cute but she would never tell anyone she thought that. Even though she talked to lots of people her dearest Freinds were dizzy and emmaline. But she knew she wouldn't even tell them.

         Riley wasn't a shy person she was very outgoing especially around emmaline and dizzy. They were her best Friends and they did everything together. Riley loved to go to the movies and draw with her Friends, it made her a little sad that she couldn't share this new discovery with her besties for the resties.

      She was cursing herself for her earlier decisions of not eating breakfast when she heard a beaker shatter. She turned around and saw the cute brown haired boy with a couple pieces of broken glass in his hand.

    

      She started helping him clean up the pieces and said "it would be nice to know your name before having to pick up your mess." " sorry...it's Braylen by the way" oh so that his name.
